Plant seeds along each side or let long vines grow up and over the top

Makes the most of limited garden space by creating shade for cool-season plants underneath

Choice of Red, Green or Steel Gray

Growing cucumbers on a trellis minimizes disease problems and keeps the fruit straight and blemish-free. This A-frame trellis
lets you plant a row on both sides; or, let long vines grow up and over the top and down the other side. The sturdy, powder-coated
steel frame supports heavy loads and has big 4" grid openings for easy harvesting. There's even room to grow salad greens in the
shade under the trellis. Use in raised beds or in-ground gardens.

I just put my delux double cucumber trellis together in anticipation of planting pickling cucumbers. After reading all the negatives concerning the difficulty using the spring coils, I had almost decided not to even try using them. Folks, I have to tell you that putting on the coil springs was absolutely effortless and not a scratch on my trellis. Have it sitting in my garden now. Gorgeous.

My husband and I are at the point of reducing quantity and labor in our gardening pursuits. This trellis makes picking very easy. In fact, we have ordered a second one (so much for reducing quantity!). I recommend this product for anyone not planting a huge quantity of cucumbers.

I bought two of these trellises. The coil hinges (spiral clips) were very difficult to put on and scratched the paint off the edge of the trellis, now rusting. Once the hinges were attached, they work like a hinge is supposed to. Now at the end of the first season, the trellises clean up and put away flat. However, they are no longer the lovely dark red color -- they are a medium to light pink. While the color doesn't affect the trellis ability to work, I have many red supports in my garden that are still the dark red they started as. I just wish these maintained their color because I love color in my garden (but not pink). Also, while pea pods worked just great with the trellis, my climbing cucumbers went up the top and back down the other side of the trellis and off on the ground on that side -- meaning the trellis isn't tall enough. In addition, I needed to anchor the bottoms of these so they didn't move. I don't think they would fall over; however, they do scoot and so they spread out (which lowers the height). So either bury them with many inches of dirt (which lowers the overall height) or use anchors. A positive, though, is that I planted onions and beets under the arch of the trellis. This provided a great start to those plants and utilized ALL the garden space.

My daughter purchased one in the Spring. It was a snap to put together. I purchased another one for my other daughter as a gift and it was not exactly as the one purchased earlier. The coil hinges were just about impossible to put on. I ended up using nylon zip ties as the hinges. It works just as well but I was not satisfied.

Was this a gift?:

Yes

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I use these panels for many things other than cucumbers. For example, I use slip-ties to anchor them to metal garden post between sections and at the end of the run. All my running things such as cantaloupe, Lima beans, sweet peas, etc. climb readily with a little help from my guiding hand. Love them.

I am using this trellis for my cucumbers. It looks great and really holds up my long and heavy cucumbers. Just a beautiful trellis. Though, was a bit difficult to assemble as the instructions are too brief. Couldn't easily put the rod in the hole- too much excess green paint in the hole made it hard to put together. Also springs for hinge scratch off green paint on trellis and now is rusting in that area on the top of the trellis. I will have to paint a rust retarder by summer's end.

I purchased 2 of these Treliss in order to expand the capacity of my garden. I was able to start the season growing Snap peas on the Trellis and lettuce under the A frame. As soon as these crops finished I began using it for cucumbers. They work great but when I moved them I did notice some rust beginning on the legs. I hope that due to the heavy gauge, that I will still get many years out of this product. I did have a little difficulty assembling this product which did also cause some of the paint to come off.

Read the other reviews to learn how to assemble...once we did that, it was a breeze. The key is not to force it together. I would prefer a taller trellis for cucumbers....this does a decent job, but I would prefer more height. We have three cucumber plants....including the long English variety...and this keeps most of the fruit/veggie off the ground.

I'm passionate about pickles. That's why caring for my cucumber crop tops my list of garden chores. And to me, there is nothing worse than a soggy, limp, crunch-less pickle. My biggest goal is to make sure they stay crisp!
